Dwell in Style

Dwell's website has content from the monthly magazine and much more. Articles from current and past issues are posted online, with all the photographs from the print addition and often many additional images.

The editors have collected articles on a similar theme from different issues. You can see a collection of the editors' favorite kitchen renovations, presented as a slide show of images with links to each full article. Most articles have a "slideshow" button at the top that allows you to view the images as a slide show.

Search the entire site, or browse different areas and link-hop from one interesting topic to the next. For example:

Under the "Ideas" tab, you'll find recommended products, Dwell's top 10 green projects, and a review of a recent industry trade show;

Go to the "People" tab to learn about up and coming architects and designers;

Visit the "Places" tab to see the global spread of prefab design and construction;

Video clips of everything from new furniture collections to the future of car design are found under "Watch".

Then there's the Water Wise Design Contest - one of two contests currently open if you have an idea for a system or object that would prevent "a common water-wasting behavior".

Dwell's website is an excellent place to keep up with the latest in architecture and design, learn more about a particular person, firm or product, and find inspiration for your own projects.

It's HIGHLY recommended for anyone interested in architecture and design.
